         8 . The apparatus of  claim 6 , wherein the processor is configured to write information about the second application that processed the first data to the first task buffer after the processing of the first data by the second application. 
     
     
         9 . The apparatus of  claim 6 , wherein the processor is configured to process the first data by identifying an address of the first task buffer. 
     
     
         10 . The apparatus of  claim 9 , wherein the processor is configured to identify an address of the second task buffer among the address of the first task buffer and the address of the second task buffer after writing the second data to the second task buffer. 
     
     
         11 . A method performed by a computing device, the method comprising:
 obtaining, based on execution of a first application, first data;   identifying, based on the obtaining the first data, a second application related to the first data;   writing, based on the identifying the second application, the first data to a shared task area, of a memory, assigned to the first application and the second application; and   after writing the first data to the shared task area, processing the first data by using the second application accessible to the shared task area.   
     
     
         12 . The method of  claim 11 , wherein the processing of the first data comprises:
